Odd turgid growth

[Wrothgar]

Today I was doing a water change when I noticed a growth on a dead head of a hammer coral. I figured it was cyanobacteria so I began to scrub with a soft brush and a mass popped off this is what it looked like. Any help would be greatly appreciated to identify this. Thanks guys. I know the photos are a little blurry but all it is is a green turgid mass and when you squeeze it it goes pop as it is filled with fluid..

Looks like bubble algae. Was there a clump of several of these together?

Indeed bubble algae and known as valonia. I generally although its been a LONG time take a small needle and have 3/8 tubing ready and attach to end of tubing with rubber band and pop each one and siphon at same time- You will have removed all spores and foreign material in area.
Had to do this in the past with birdsnest coral and was gone 100%.
Other option is to add pitho crabs or emerald crabs (which I do not trust) which will eat them

Hmm, good thing that second pic is blurry. Looks like it may need to be pixelated otherwise

Yes indeed. For the longest time I left it alone, thought that may be the deadhead regenerating but no lol

I think we have all been there.
